A woman's small ovarian tumor causing high androgen levels was missed by several scans but found during surgery.
research ODP423 Postmenopausal Virilization Secondary to A Rare Left Ovarian Androgen-Secreting Leydig Cell Tumor Localized Using Ovarian Vein Sampling
A woman's masculine symptoms were caused by a rare tumor in her left ovary, which was found using a special blood test.
research New Aromatic Esters of Progesterone as Antiandrogens
New progesterone-based compounds can block male hormones.
research Cellular actions of testosterone in vascular cells: Mechanism independent of aromatization to estradiol
Testosterone affects vascular cells directly without converting to estradiol.
research Generation of comparative pharmacophoric model for steroidal 5α-reductase I and II inhibitors: A 3D-QSAR study on 6-azasteroids
The study created a model to help design new inhibitors for steroidal 5α-reductase enzymes.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroidal compounds could be effective for treating conditions related to 5α-reductase enzyme activity.
research Neonatal neurosteroid levels are determinant in shaping adult prepulse inhibition response to hippocampal allopregnanolone in rats
Neonatal neurosteroid levels affect adult brain function and behavior.
research Decreased allopregnanolone induced by hormonal contraceptives is associated with a reduction in social behavior and sexual motivation in female rats
Hormonal contraceptives may reduce social behavior and sexual motivation by lowering allopregnanolone levels.
research Membrane androgen receptors may mediate androgen reinforcement
Androgen self-administration might be controlled by membrane receptors, not nuclear ones.
research Progesterone-induced stimulation of mammary tumorigenesis is due to the progesterone metabolite, 5α-dihydroprogesterone (5αP) and can be suppressed by the 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride
Progesterone byproduct 5αP stimulates mammary tumor growth, but finasteride can suppress it.
research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Neonatal allopregnanolone or finasteride administration modifies hippocampal K+ Cl− co-transporter expression during early development in male rats
Allopregnanolone increases KCC2 expression in baby male rats' brains, while finasteride doesn't affect it.
research Androgen Treatment in Women
Testosterone therapy can help postmenopausal women with low sexual desire but needs more safety research and should be used with estrogen therapy.
research Normalization of testosterone levels using a low estrogen-containing oral contraceptive in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Loestrin effectively normalizes testosterone levels and improves PCOS symptoms with minimal side effects.
research Inflammation dynamically regulates steroid hormone metabolism and action within macrophages in rheumatoid arthritis
Inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis increases steroid activation in cells, reducing inflammation.
research Postmenopausal Ovarian Hyperthecosis Associated with Rapid Testosterone Excess
Removing both ovaries can treat increased testosterone and related symptoms in postmenopausal women with ovarian hyperthecosis.
research Ovarian intratumoral 21-hydroxylase deficiency in a postmenopausal hirsute woman
